Juliana Jean LaMonica
July 1 2007 - July 5 2010
Age: 3 years old
In November 2009, Juliana was taken to the doctor with a suspected ear infection. Blood tests were taken, they showed that Juliana had leukaemia and her parents were told that she had to be taken to hospital. The diagnosis was a rare form of acute myeloid leukaemia called monosomy seven, it was also very difficult to treat. Her only option was a bone marrow transplant, her brother was a perfect match. On May 10 2010, Juliana went into a surgery. Unfortunately, in June 2010, Juliana relapsed and doctors said that there was nothing more they could do. Three weeks later, just 4 days after her third birthday, Juliana passed away after battling for over 8 months.
